·Pale yellow color the glass. Expressive scents of pears, lemon curd
and butter leading to flavors of white stone fruits, citrus and roasted nuts. The hioctane
creates a plushness on the palate and the lively acidity leads to an
appealing citric lift on the crisp finish. Barrel-fermented Chardonnay lovers will
find this wine very appealing especially considering the price. This wine delivers
a $60 experience. The 2006 vintage, which is still available in some retail
markets, is equally good or better as it offers a little more richness. Very good.Reviewed January 22, 2010
